The Sun comes up - the Sun goes down
The hands on the clock keep goin' around
Twenty four hours is our daily gift
Eight sleep - eight play and an eight hour shift !
Yesterday's gone - forever
Tomorrow may never be mine
Work - rest and play - help me today
Just livin' one day at a time !
Time is precious - CARPE DIEM
Enjoy and seize the day today
Lots of special chances - seize 'em
Just for you - each single day !
Twenty four hours how do we use 'em ?
Each hour is precious so never abuse 'em !
I always have time to post a poem each day - enjoy - BRIAN
This is a 4 4 4 2 rhyming sonnet
The visual is from SALVADOR DALI'S CLOCKS

- Comment from author about the poem: TIMEWISE WE ARE ALL BORN EQUAL ! WHoever we are and wherever we are in the World each of us get 24 hours as the clock strikes midnight ! How we use those 24 hours - individually - is very different for each of us. How do you use your time ? Thanks for reading - BRIAN

Brian,
The visual is a bag inspired by SALVADOR DALI'S CLOCKS?!
Timeless theme and inspiring execution.
Times flies over us,but leaves its shadow behind. I might explore this theme one day...
Thanks.
THANKS LYSIS - For a very encouraging comment. I'm a performance poet so I do take time over the structure and content of the poem. I think a visual is important too and this one is very apposite. Yours BRIAN
Positive and Energizing Writing. I must admit, my time is split so many ways. However, a major focus is on health and wellness. What inspired this topic for ya?
THANKS DESPINA - I like to post positive poems and (as you say) positive poems give us energy ! I love DALI's Clock Paintings and knew I had a visual if I could phrase the poem. An old song gave me the first two lines and the rest followed. With a sonnet you only need 14 lines ! The thought that everyone on the Planet has a gift of 24 hours each day (from midnight to midnight) has always intrigued me !. It's how we use them that makes us "individuals" I try to NEVER waste time - OK. As you say TIME makes many demands on us each day - but we should always find time for poetry and empathy (TLC) ! Thanks for adding me as a Friend - I will look out for your nest poem. Yours BRIAN
